Renovation 6B for New Dialysis at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, intends to issue a solicitation package seeking to award a firm fixed-price construction contract through the sealed bidding process for the renovations to an existing facility, Renovation 6B for New Dialysis at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center. The facility is owned and operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The project includes the safe and coordinated replacement of two air handlers on the 11th floor B-wing, which serve four inpatient bed wards (7B, 8B, 9B, 10B), and extending new ductwork to include the 6th floor B-wing. Also, the project consists of the total demolition and renovation of the 6th floor B-wing for a new Chronic Dialysis unit.
Work will include: renovation of dialysis rooms, isolation rooms, nurse stations, sterile storage and clean holding rooms, reverse osmosis water treatment system, exam rooms, staff rooms, mechanical and electrical equipment rooms with the associated building infrastructure systems, rooftop mechanical space, and other supporting areas. The selective structural renovation will consist of modification and augmentation of the existing steel and reinforced concrete superstructure. While most of this project is fully designed, there are some aspects that are performance based where the Government will require a design submission from the bidder prior to start of construction. The total SF for the project is approximately 15,000 SF. The Albany Stratton VAMC facility will remain operational during construction so close coordination, phasing, and ICRA will be required. The period of performance for this project is 455 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed date.
The specifications will be posted electronically via the Federal Business Opportunity website at www.fbo.gov. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 236220 for Commercial & Institutional Building Construction. The estimated construction cost magnitude is between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000. This procurement is being solicited as 100% set-aside for Small Business only.
All questions must be submitted in writing via e-mail to: Monica Chahary, Contract Specialist, monica.c.chahary@usace.army.mil.
